He really shouldn't just toss his sword into the water like that lol. Seiya's got no chill when punching that guy.

Ariadoa gets more screen time although I feel her character got overshadowed by the usual humor and the main leads. This episode convinces me more that Seiya is not someone to mess with. The undead zombie guy stood no chance.

Mad respect to seiya for bullying a sword god. That last scene where seiya rejected his allies was pure comedy.

Seiya punching the God like that was gold xD, no wonder why he’s given up on his sword. Jeez, that deduction there though lmfao.

Good lord, Seiya’s cautiousness this episode, pouring holy water even on the unconscious sister for instance, was a nice breather. I feared that the Comedy would run out of steam very soon but good thing this episode gives me a little more hope that it’ll retain through the course of the season.

Damn, him rejecting those dragon-related allies though. Lol they did seem pretty hopeless in comparison. I wonder when Seiya can wake up one day with no lingering issues of safety and the sort in mind lol.

New ED as well, certainly didn’t see something like that coming.

I love that guy. At this rate he really might need way more holy water.

Other goddess' reaction was interesting tho. And just after she said something about failing to save a world. We also learned stuff about reincarnation. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I wonder if there is something more to it?

not my cup of tea, can't tell where's supposed to be the funny part.
i rather watch an awkward part of comedy anime and laugh about it than getting head ache and triggered after watching this.

i guess they delay this ep for that full cgi ed KEKW

Poor divine blade lmfao

So Seiya finalle hit a wall.. good.. would have probably put this on hold if the next episodes were nothing but training but seems there's no need for this.

Ariadoa actually seemed like.. there is something related to Seiya with that one world she couldn't safe.. maybe? It was kind of suspicious.. Got completely overshadowed by the bullying tho.

Him rejecting his allies was pretty funny tho ngl

Still funny this week, but Seiya's cautiousness did veer more towards asshole territory this episode than the previous two.

Also, kinda disappointing how off-model everything was even after the week break.

It was offhandedly mentioned in the manga and i think in the first 2 episodes, but there is 1 hero per world, period, so if seiya dies, that world is doomed, and the people of that world lose any hope of being saved.

If you look at it from that perspective, seiya's cautiousness is justified, because if he failed, everyone on that planet is doomed, if anything the fool is rista for not realizing just how much him failing could be disastrous, which arianoa is aware of.

Love this show, comedic as it might be, it's also got some intelligent ideas to it.

I don't think Aria had that reaction just because of how good-looking Seiya is, especially after talking about the world she couldn't save. That was interesting......... Also, G! Jesus, Aria, no wonder you are a high-rank goddess!

Poor Cerceus, it was hilarious to see his descent from Divine Blade to nori to punch bag. lmao

Holy water for everyone! It was so obvious but still so funny, especially when he poured it on Rista xD.

Dear Funimation,
Whoever put the line "Have you dropped a few pounds?" in the script needs a smack upside the head. I doubt Gods' Realm uses the imperial system because even Japan does not. This is on the level of Gabriel Dropout's "Through the Dark Lord. Amen" stupidity except not even funny.

Also: that 3DCG ending. Oof.

I never realized how much I was enjoying this series until it went on hiatus for a week

Him dumping holy water on all his allies was predictable but still hilarious. I can't believe he actually got it right with the priest LOL

Them introducing the concept that humans can be reborn as gods is interesting. Makes me wonder if death will be an option here for some of the main cast...

I like how they portrayed Ishtar. She's literally one of the oldest deities we know of and here she's like a grandma compared to the other gods. Plus I play a mobile app called (Age of) Ishtaria and was happy to see they gave her gray hair just like she has in the app

Yeah, I am dropping this. While I thought that the first two episode were kinda funny, this time none of the jokes worked for me and the premise already wore itself out.

Also while the episode still looked okay, the drop in quality was quite noticeable. With one delayed episode down the line, production will only keep getting worse from this point on.

After 2 weeks, it is back.

Frustrating Ristarte is what calls me to this show every week. Plus, rebelling hero-asshole Seiya is another factor. Oh the wonderful characterization.

At his peak, her goddess-rival Ariadoa has Seiya training under skilled people. And turning under their foot instead, the manga displays the comedy better (for this small tidbit). First day, fine, still going strong. Second day, to the brink of defeat. Third day, barely recognisable. Fourth day, total K.O. In a nutshell, Seiya's cautious insanity causes even the most rugged of warriors to make but break.

"Time to mop this up." TIME FOR ROUND 3 BOYS! Clean sweep of the church and the undead. Damn you, Seiya, pouring holy water as another means to confirm double.

Sweet episode, but the ED sequence repeats Chika's 3DCG dance? Wow that was so bad it's good.

I think Seiya went from being a demon slayer to a god slayer, poor Cerceus I felt sorry for him, he ended up hating his sword.

Today Rista made me laugh in piles with her ridiculous and exaggerated facial expressions, there was a special moment that made me laugh even more, it was when Aria and Rista have a talk about Seiya's training and suddenly Rista concentrates her gaze on the breasts of Aria and She give us the info that Aria is a G cup and is very popular among male gods and then reveals that hers is D, very important information.

It seemed strange to me Aria's reaction when she saw Seiya, it seemed as if she had seen him before, will this have a relationship with the world that Aria failed to save?
The training of Seiya and Cerceus was too funny, I did not expect that the cruel hero would end up breaking the poor god.

Seiya and Rista arrive at the next town that is threatened by an invasion of undead that is coming, but for what Rista was informed in the town they will find allies for Seiya's trip.
I laughed a lot when Seiya showed up at the church, I thought when he poured the holy water on the priest I thought he would get mad, but my surprise was great when the priest became an undead.
Again Seiya disintegrated until the last ash of his enemy and with that he destroyed the church, but what saddened me the most was when Seiya poured holy water to Mash and Elulu, his new party members and what killed me with laughter was that he also did the same with Rista, then Seiya and Rista studied the status of Mash and Elulu with their penetrating and evil gazes, finally Seiya ends up discarding Mash and Elulu.
Anyway, Seiya exceeded his levels of mistrust in this episode, besides being an abusive one with poor Cerceus, but what I managed to highlight from this episode was the busty and bouncy Aria, I insist that her reaction when she saw Seiya was weird, Maybe some connection or Seiya looks like the hero who failed to save the world that Aria was in charge of or could be something else, but the important thing is that the wait for a week was worth it.

The poor god. The poor goddess. The poor church. This hero is ungodly.

But how can the undead enter a church? Guess the church building wasn't so powerful after all. It couldn't even withstand a little fire. A little.

It's a funny show, I enjoy this and Choyoyu the most this season. Both are isekai. I guess I just like the outdoors and magic, let's go with that.

After Cerceus became so confident before they trained, and boosted that his training was really painful:-D :-D :-D :-D

He will never forget Seiya as long as he lives. I mean, the man hated the sword after that, and didn't even want to mention its name (pointy things:-)

I hope he will eventually accept his new nakamas, they seem interesting to me.

Seiya's antics got really annoying really fast. First episode was really good and felt like a breath of fresh air, I got some pretty good laughs out of it. But after that I just find myself wanting to punch my monitor every time Seiya opens his fucking mouth or does something. I mean, it's one thing to be overly cautious, but Seiya is a paranoid asshole and I'm not sure if I want to give this anime the benefit of the doubt by wasting my time in hopes for some character development for Seiya to stop being such a retard. If episode 4 doesn't win me back over this shit is going into the burner.

I understand that being overly cautious is the mc's gimmick and therefore he has to train for a fucking long time and shit but like what like he did this episode wasnt training he just beat up a god. Honestly to me he comes off as an asshole instead of a hero which is fucking annoying.

Am I the only one who feels the terrible CGI dance is totally an intentional part of the humor? People do realize it’s the doll phone device thing dancing, not Ristarte herself right? I’m sure the creators are perfectly aware of how ridiculous it looks, and that might be the point.

Another really cool episode. I'm starting to like this more and more, and the comedy doesn't seem to be getting old any time soon.

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?
